Bunnski Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Westwood has been great so far this season, he ran out of steam vs Leicester in the 2nd half just like Sanchez and the whole defence did.'great'lol Yeah he was great, had an assist and was in the top 10 in the league for key passes after 4 games, What's your point?

KSV Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) hes rubbish. I am sorry but i dont buy any stats after 4 games.He takes far too many touches and then he stops passes sideways or Gil/Grealish come back to pick it up.. where its HIS job to find those players.. not have them dragged out of position. He stunts out attack/counter attack.Defensively.. hes awful in the air and just weak in tackling.I hope once our side settles he wont make the starting side. Gueye Veretout and Sanchez or even Illori as a DM would be better options. Even Gardner should get a chance. The fact that he takes awful set pieces over and over again does my head in.

Hanky Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Poor again. We've got no chance of doing anything with him and Sanchez in midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gharperr Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) Hmmm. I like westwood i really do but the past few games hes been very poor. I dont think its a "he cant play in a midfield 2", i just dont think he can play when sanchez is in the team. Imo, hes best played as a DLP and he hasnt been played like that this season. Dont think he can do the further midfielder of the 2 CM's very well. Dont think hes good enough taking the ball from our half into their half like delph/gana do and give that midfield drive. And sanchez occupies the space in the spaces that westwood is good at.So i guess it depends if you want:a) sanchez whos better at tackling but derps a ton with his passes when hes playing as the deepest midfielderorb] Westwood whos much weaker than sanchez and cant tackle aswell, but will never lose possession My 2c Edited September 19, 2015 by gharperr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I'm his biggest fan, but he's been very poor for the last two games now. Today, he just didn't do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ramshackler Posted September 20, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Im glad to see the ridiculous misconception that Westwood is quality player is finally disappearing!! I have watched him every week for years and it has literally driven me to despair. His defenders will always point to his pass success rate and claim him to be the next scholes, but look at how many assists or defence splitting balls he completes, those stats are very poor. He is safe, he offers nothing and as such it puts a huge amount of pressure on the other players in the midfield.Now i wanted to point out a few issues that may have gone un-noticed, as over the last few months, Sanchez has been getting dogs abuse and I really feel it is due to him being left carrying all the water due to Westwoods defensive deficiencies.As many have pointed out, Westwood cannot play in a two man midfield. This is simply due to the fact that in a 3 man midfield, you can play safe and the team can carry you somewhat. In a two, it is a disaster.Now Westwood was rightly highlighted in the leicester disaster last week, when it was all falling apart he was out of position and left Sanchez cruelly exposed.Yesterday I pointed out several issues to those around me. On multiple occasions, there was a high ball which Westwood had ZERO chance of even arriving in time to challenge for. In those posiitons you should sit in and look to win the second ball, but he doesnt. He charges towards it, the baggies player simply headed it seconds before he arrived into the huge gaping hole that Westwood had left behind, and once again they started a counter attack with 3 on 1 in the middle against Sanchez.Also, when he is 'marking' every time his man drifts onto his shoulder, Westwood lets him wander in behind him. Its as if he thinks if I cant see them, then surely they are not my responsibility. It is ridiculous how many goals we have conceded when Westwoods man has drifted off him into the box unmarked.Then there is his strength. How many times did an albion player drift past him like he was a child yesterday? My dad came along with me yesterday, he isnt a villa fan and as a neutral he made a comment about Westwood when Fletcher walzted past him and drew a good save from Guzan. He likened it to watching a 60 year old make token challenge on the 21 year old at indoor five a side!His set pieces. Do I really need to say anymore?He came from League 1. He has somehow managed to secure a premier league spot due to being part of one of the worst villa squads in living memory and playing in a formation (midfield 3) where he can hide and rely on this age of ridiculous opta stats. He is not Premier League quality. i have bit my tongue for so long as some of the idiots on here will just quote bloody opta stats at you to shout me down, but now I see the tide turning against Sanchez (a proven player of international quality) I cannot stay silent any longer.If the fans hound out Sanchez and not Westwood, I GIVE UP(btw, this is not me saying Sanchez is playing well. He is out of form, but it is made all the more difficult for him when he is playing alongside Westwood. He has looked much better with Gana alongside him).Sadly I cannot see Timmy dropping him anytime soon as he seems as blind as Lambert Edited September 20, 2015 by ramshackler 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
